I'm performing a scene from Richard III in a stage acting class. Act one, scene two, specifically. Is this scene shown in the film, and would it be a good starting point for getting an idea of how to play the scene?

I found it very instructional, both on Richard III in particular, and approaching Shakesperean acting in general. The acting in the scenes shown was truly excellent (I esp. liked Pacino & Spacey as more modern gangsters, discussing how to deal with their enemies...), and the discussion from classically trained Shakespeareans (esp. Branagh & Redgrave) to be fascinating. Any student of acting, Shakespeare or writing for theater should see this.
